The Fayetteville News, Feb. 22, 1907
On Thursday an???????? 7, just as the sun was setting in the western horizon, 
God's finger touched Miss Emmie Reeves and she fell asleep, and then began the 
life immortal.  Yes, gone to dwell with Jesus, whom she loved and served so 
well during her short journey upon this earth.

Sixteen years ago a little girl, modest and unassuming, entered the sabbath 
school at Woolsey, and took her place in the primary class.  No one advanced 
more rapidly in Bible study and music; whether in the class or at the organ, 
she was faithful and true; so much so that she gained the love and esteem of 
all her classmates and teachers.  Not long after her connection with the school 
she gave her heart to God, and soon thereafter she made a public profession of 
her faith, while her constant and faithful attendance at the Sunday school and 
church constrained every one who was acquainted with her beautiful traits of 
character to believe and say that Miss Emmie walked with God, who has now taken 
her to himself.  Her faithfulness and devotion were such that we urge both 
teachers and pupils to follow her example.  We feel that we have sustained a 
great loss in being deprived of her sweet life, but we are submissive to God's 
will, knowing that He doeth all things well.

"Dearest Emmie, thou has left 
Here thy loss we deeply feel, 
But 'tis God that hath bereft us, 
He can all our sorrows heal.  
Yet again we hope to meet thee 
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven we hope to
greet thee.
Where no farewell tear is shed."

We tender our sympathies to the father and mother, sisters and brothers in the 
great loss they have sustained.  May God bless and comfort them!
